Technicals
As you can see on the chart above, there was a spike down to the 50% Fib retracement level as indicated with the red arrow. This is a strong level of support and the rally from there could continue on upwards if this is the formation. I would not be surprised to see wave 5 complete to the 61.8% Fib retracement level before we see the break to the upside but due to the break of the structure at the top of wave 4, it is also possible that the rally will occur soon.
Potential buying opportunity on GrowthPoint propertiesGrowthpoint Properties has formed a bullish inverted Head & Shoulders formation over the last couple of days. We broke above the neckline yesterday which triggered the long entry. The market has been kind enough to provide a second opportunity to enter on a retest of the neckline @ 24.00. We have tested the R24.00 level this morning and held so far, and hope to see the stock gain some momentum now to move to the formations target of R25.00
GROWTHPOINT PROP LTD JSEWhat we have currently is a bearish flag, I assume this will be followed by a strong drop in this market down towards the demand zone at the 2261 level, you can enter a sell position around 2371 and take profits at 2261. Alternatively or adding to that position, you can have a buy limit at 2261 taking profits at or around the 2600 area.
